Digital Transcripts – Looking Beyond the Grades = Bob Habib, Higher Education Digest

Imagine a world where students at all levels would be connected to every learning, employment, and volunteer opportunity based on competencies, skills, knowledge, interests, passions, and yes – course and credential completion. A system that documents a person’s interests, passions, and hobbies, and then shows a correlation (a Venn diagram if you will) where those unique attributes intersect with skills, competencies, knowledge, along with credentials and certifications earned. Take this a step further and show the intersection between all those facets and the needs and desires of employers or those of higher education institutions seeking the best-fit students. In essence, a match-making effort of epic proportions.
